Hannah Ingram-Moore said: “Honestly, it would have broken her heart if we had told her that people hate us.
“Because how do you explain to a 100-year-old man that something so incredibly good can attract so much horror?
“So the four of us held him back and said we wouldn’t play with … that vile minority.
“We wouldn’t play for them, we don’t, because we are talking to the vast majority of people we connect with.”

Ms. Ingram-Moore said the family “really believed he would come back” after he was admitted to the hospital.
“We thought oxygen would help, that it would be robust enough, (but) the truth is that it just wasn’t. He was old and couldn’t fight.”
Before the centennial’s death, he marked a Caribbean holiday off his bucket list when the family traveled to Barbados just before Christmas.
“It was just amazing,” Ingram-Moore said.
“He would sit at 29 degrees outside, read two novels, read the newspapers every day, and we would sit and talk as a family, go to restaurants (because we could there) and eat fish on the beach and what a wonderful, wonderful thing to do.
“I think we were all so glad we managed to give him that.”
